Student Health Services

Medical History Form

A complete medical history is required on all residential and international students. Confidential medical files are kept on all students who visit Student Health Services. Wright State University's "Policy on Resident Immunization" requires Resident Students to present evidence of up-to-date immunizations prior to moving into a University owned or managed property. Failure to provide the completed Medical History form will result in an academic hold.

News & Announcements

Last patient sign-in at the registration desk is 30 minutes prior to clinic closure. Occasionally,we must stop accepting patient sign-ins earlier if the number of students currently registered and waiting exceeds the clinic closing time.

FLU VACCINES ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

"Flu" is short for influenza, a contagious respiratory illness that infects the nose, throat and lungs. It can make you feel awful. Best way to protect yourself from getting the flu? Get an annual flu shot. You can have the flu for 1 to 4 days before you start feeling sick. This means that you may be able to infect someone else before you even know you have the flu, not just while you are feeling symptoms. The CDC recommends a seasonal influenza vaccination every year for everyone 6 months old and older.

IMPORTANT: STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE INFORMATION

During the first 2 weeks of each semester of open enrollment, if you need access to your health insurance card, you will need to contact Student Health Services so we can initiate a manual upload of your registration into the plan. Otherwise, United Healthcare Student Resources will not have your membership information until after open enrollment has ended. Stop by the insurance office at 051 Student Union or call 937-775-2331 for further information.

IMPORTANT Referral Information for Student Health Insurance

The student should use services of Student Health Services first where treatment will be administered or referral issued. Expenses incurred for medical treatment outside of Student Health Services for which no prior approval or referral is obtained will be subject to an additional $350 Deductible. A referral issued by SHS must accompany the claim when submitted. Only one referral is required for each Injury or Sickness per Policy Year. Certain conditions are excluded from the referral requirement. Please see page 29 of the policy brochure for further information.

Identification Requirement for Clinic Visits

Effective immediately to be seen in the Student Health Services Clinic, you must present your Wright1 Card for identification purposes.

Ebola Information

SHS is closely monitoring Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) information on the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa and the reported case in Texas, and is following the recommendations from the CDC, World Health Organization, and the American College of Health Association.

The risk of exposure to Ebola in the United States or at Wright State is very low.

"There is very little risk of Ebola exposure in the United States," said Leatha Ross, director of student health services at Wright State. "At the campus level, we feel it's best to monitor the situation and be prepared, but we do not feel there's any reason for the Wright State community to be alarmed."

At this time, the CDC has recommended no additional monitoring, but does recommend postponing unnecessary education-related travel. Wright State officials will continue to monitor the latest information from the CDC and take action when necessary.
